The ranking reinforces Acronis’ strength in helping organizations protect critical server workloads, recover quickly from disruption and manage backup operations through an integrated cyber protection platform. For businesses, servers remain at the center of daily operations. They host applications, databases, files, customer records and systems that employees rely on every day. When a server goes down because of ransomware, hardware failure, accidental deletion or a configuration issue, backup is no longer just an IT requirement — it becomes a business continuity priority. Acronis Cyber Platform (formerly Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud) is designed for that reality, combining backup, [disaster recovery](https://www.acronis.com/en/products/cloud/cyber-protect/disaster-recovery/), cybersecurity and centralized management to help teams keep workloads protected and recoverable. ## Why do customers choose Acronis for server backup? Customers choose Acronis for server backup because it goes beyond traditional data protection. Acronis supports full system recovery, including bare-metal restore, so organizations can restore servers to the same or different hardware and reduce downtime after serious incidents. For smaller issues, teams can also recover individual files, folders or application data, helping them resolve problems quickly without performing a full system restore. Acronis also gives administrators broad workload coverage from a unified management console. Physical servers, virtual machines, cloud workloads, applications and databases can be protected through one platform, making it easier to manage backup policies, monitor jobs and perform recovery tasks across complex environments. This is especially valuable for MSPs and IT teams that need to support multiple systems, locations and customers without adding more disconnected tools to their stack. The G2 Summer 2026 Grid® Report shows strong satisfaction across setup, administration, ease of use and ease of doing business and flexibility. Backups can be stored locally, on network storage, in the cloud or through a hybrid approach, giving organizations more control over recovery objectives, compliance requirements and storage strategy. Automated backup schedules, retention policies, monitoring and reporting help reduce manual administration while keeping critical data protected and recoverable. ## What customers are saying _“The centralised management gives us strong visibility across client sites, and it supports and integrates with a wide range of the products our customers rely on, including Microsoft 365 and SQL Server.”_ said a [Software Consultant in Small Business segment](https://www.g2.com/products/acronis-cyber-protect-cloud/reviews/acronis-cyber-protect-cloud-review-12398875). _“It’s a single platform that covers complete cybersecurity, from server backup to email backup to Antivirus+EDR and more. A single agent handles all the work, which keeps everything simple and consistent.“_ said an [IT Manager in Small Business segment](https://www.g2.com/products/acronis-cyber-protect-cloud/reviews/acronis-cyber-protect-cloud-review-12294793). _“It's the best platform for a backup solution for your server. It's just not a backup solution but also provides cyber protection, anti-malware, and anti-virus, and ransomware protection along with EDR.”_ said a [Verified User in Small Business segment](https://www.g2.com/products/acronis-cyber-protect-cloud/reviews/acronis-cyber-protect-cloud-review-5431900). ## Why this matters for service providers and IT teams Server backup is strongest when it supports business continuity, not just data storage Acronis’ #1 ranking in Server Backup reflects the growing need for solutions that help organizations recover quickly, reduce complexity and protect against modern cyberthreats. Businesses and MSPs cannot afford backup tools that operate separately from security, disaster recovery and day-to-day management workflows. When server backup is isolated, teams may have the data they need but still lose valuable time coordinating recovery across multiple products. For MSPs, this integrated approach is especially important. Every additional tool can increase licensing, training, administration and support overhead. With Acronis Cyber Platform (formerly Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud), service providers can deliver server backup as part of a broader managed cyber protection service, helping customers strengthen resilience while keeping operations simpler and more scalable. ## About the recognition The G2 Grid® Report evaluates products in the Server Backup category based on customer satisfaction and market presence. Acronis Cyber Platform (formerly Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud) was recognized as a Leader and ranked #1 in the G2 Summer 2026 Grid Report for Server Backup.
